Russian lawmakers have approved a toughened version of a bill that outlaws gender transitioning procedures, with added clauses that annul marriages in which one person has “changed gender” and barring transgender people from becoming foster or adoptive parents. The bill, which deals a crippling blow to Russia's oppressed LGBTQ+ community, received swift, unanimous approval of Russia’s lower house of parliament, the State Duma, in the key second reading. Lawmakers set the third and final reading for Friday. There is little doubt that the bill will be adopted amid the Kremlin’s crusade to protect what it views as the country’s “traditional values.”
